Currently working in Community Learning and Development in a local authority and found this course useful in respect of several elements of my practice.
Introduced me to wider considerations about online learning and engagement activities with service learners, volunteers and community.
Access to wider publications to develop thinking was welcome but frustrated as access to some academic references unavailable to non-student learners without cost.
